Ranked as one of the top cities to visit in 2017, Copenhagen is rising in popularity as it continues to build notoriety for its culinary offerings. Between meals, visitors will also find a host of attractions and scenery, including the following three.

1. Nyhavn

Nyhavn, or New Harbor, sits behind Amalienborg in Copenhagen. Many visitors register for walking tours of the area, which features gabled houses in bright colors along the harbor. Several anchored ships serve as nautical museums, as well.

2. Tivoli Gardens

Built in the 1840s, the Tivoli Gardens have delighted tourists from around the world with an offering of amusement park attractions and gardens for strolling. Disney enthusiasts will recognize the architecture that influenced the designs found in Disneyland and related parks.

3. Den Lille Havfrue

Perhaps the most iconic attraction in Copenhagan is Den Lille Havfrue, or the Little Mermaid. The statue, created in 1913, commemorates the well-known fairy tale of a mermaid who left the ocean and fell in love with a prince. Guests will find the bronze sculpture off the Kastellet waterfront, only a short distance from Nyhavn.
